Racing will return to Doomben for a massive 10-race program this Saturday afternoon, with the first event scheduled to kick off at 12:18pm AEST. With a lot of rain falling in the lead-up to the meeting, it is expected that racing will go ahead on a genuine Heavy 10 surface throughout the day. The rail will be in its true position for the entire circuit.
Recognition Stakes tip: Midnight In Tokyo
Nothing went right for Midnight In Tokyo first-up as the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained mare blundered the start before having to maintain a wide run from the 500m mark. Although the daughter of Kobayashi had a lot going against her at this track over 1200m, she still powered home strongly to finish in third place and will take good benefit from the run. If this girl can jump better from barrier five, Bailey Wheeler can settle midfield off the fence, and with even luck, Midnight In Tokyo can record a sixth career victory with a similar finishing burst.

Tattersall’s Classic tip: Party For Two
Party For Two will return from a four-month spell in the Tattersall’s Classic following two very good trial victories over 1000m and 1050m on rain-affected tracks. The Matthew Hoysted-trained mare was last seen finishing second behind Recommendation in the Group 3 Sir John Monash Stakes at Caulfield. Ryan Maloney will push forward to settle on speed, and if Party For Two can produce a similar effort to her Group 3 placing from last preparation, she will prove very hard to run down late.

Best Bet at Doomben: Metalart
Metalart started his career undefeated through four starts before striking firmer tracks this preparation, where the Kelly Schweida-trained gelding has failed to win in three runs. The son of Better Than Ready ran home nicely to finish second behind Torabella at this track and trip on November 9, but still looked as though he hadn’t hit peak fitness yet. Now that he is set to compete in a weaker contest on a wet track, expect Michael Rodd to push forward, settle in the one-one position, and receive the run of the race.
Best Bet
Race 10 – #2 Metalart (11)
4yo Gelding | T: Kelly Schweida | J: Michael Rodd (59.5kg)

Next Best at Doomben: Bossed Up
Tony Gollan and Kyle Wilson-Taylor will combine with Bossed Up in the penultimate event when the four-year-old gelding returns from an eight-week freshen. This son of Better Than Ready ran home the best of any of his rivals at Toowoomba in a Class 3 Handicap to finish a narrow third place on a Heavy track. Although he has had a longer break between runs than normal, Bossed Up can settle closer to the speed here, and his blistering turn of foot will give him every chance to record another victory.
Next Best
Race 9 – 
#12 Bossed Up (7)
4yo Gelding | T: Tony Gollan | J: Kyle Wilson-Taylor (55.5kg)
